Thursday massacre in Nuseirat

People in Nuseirat camp have been relentlessly targeted over the past few days, as the IOF has committed a number of massacres against Palestinian civilians in the camp.

Overnight on Thursday, dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli shelling of an UNRWA school in Nuseirat housing displaced Palestinians. At the time, the Gaza government media office released a statement holding the “Israeli occupation and the US administration fully responsible for the crimes against humanity committed against Palestinians in Gaza.”

On Friday evening, the Israeli occupation published false information, claiming that the school was targeted as a number of Resistance fighters had sought refuge there. The information included a list of full names accompanied by personal photos, with “Israel” claiming that they were killed in the deliberate massacre.

However, according to Gaza’s government media office, it turned out that among the names published by the Israeli occupation were Palestinians who were still alive, others who were traveling, and several martyrs who had been killed at different times and places, not in Nuseirat.

The government office refuted the occupation’s claims and lies in a press conference held late Friday night at the courtyard of al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, confirming the inaccuracy of the list published by the occupation and the falsehood of the information intended to mislead public opinion.

Contrary to the Israeli occupation’s claim that it did not kill children in the Nuseirat massacre, the Government Media Office in Gaza exposed this false claim by publishing the names of the children who were killed by the IOF’s deliberate bombing of the school in Nuseirat.
